2010 topponds/Purdin Grow & Show Challenge!

Scott Purdin and Bill McGurk have selected 50 Purdin Koi that they believe have tremendous potential. All the Koi were born in April 2009 and range in size from 20cm to 32cm, they have been carefully selected not just for their quality but also their potential to grow to a significant size. No one knows these Koi better than Scott Purdin so there is a good chance that these Koi can become very special. The Koi will arrive in February/March and be available for selection Easter 2010. .

Although we know how good the Koi are, we also recognise the fact that Purdin Koi are not widely proven in the UK so to demonstrate our confidence and to encourage you to give them a try we are offering these special Koi at a very special price - £100 each

Participation is simple, all 50 Koi are photographed and displayed and each have a unique number. You pay your purchase price  (maximum 3 Koi per entrant) and select a sealed envelope. Inside the envelope is a unique number, each number corresponds to a photo of a Koi - that’s your selection.

As this is not just a test of our Koi, it’s a challenge for your Koi Keeping skills, so you take the Koi home and grow it for a year and in May 2011 you will be invited to bring your Koi back to our facility where the Purdin team will judge them.

The best Koi (and that’s not necessarily just the biggest) will win a high grade Purdin Nissai again hand selected by Scott and Bill – so you may get to be a double winner, but either way you get a great Koi!

There is a quiet revolution going on and you have just become part of it!!
